wonderful!

Are you gonna sell this to anyone? Seems like a cool idea. May need a finalized version before it can be presented.

[martinkjlarsson]

Cool! I guess the proportions wont be the same if one item is about to run out, since the pressure. Some liquid flow-ometer would be more precis. Really cool though!

I see what you are saying and got the point. Good job.

Oh, and -

C - If a cup isn't present, the order should complete without user interaction once a cup is placed underneath, unless the order is cancelled.

.

Also I'm wondering if a PIC32 is even needed for the dispenser system, sure a powerful chip is needed to drive that touch screen display, but the dispenser back end seems nothing more than a 'valve' timing system which also needs to store the liquid proportions.

I'm guessing a PIC16F877A wud b ok. I'm happy to be corrected though! ;-)

[H3liosphan]

Awesome! great work guys.

I'm loving the quantity customisation feature, future improvements could be added -

A - You can scale the overall timing system for all four servos and make a larger drink of the same proportions. In fact a fifth slider on the customisation screen for customising this would be great.

B - A voice feedback system for user friendliness- "Choose your drink.", "Place cup under the dispenser", and "Your drink is ready". etc. Loud so you can hear it in a bar scenario.
